CLEEELAND'S TRIP.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Limitations
continue pouring in on the President, snd
almost the entire time OF one clerk at the
White House is occupied in scheduling
and recording them. He has been
invited to visit almost every
city in the west and south
including San Francisco, New Orleans
and Galveston. II would be almost i'm
possible for the President to accept all of
them, even if he devoted the balance Of
the year to that purpose. SO it will be
seen that some places will have 10 be
sighted. a long invitation was received
to-day from Governor Gray OF Indians,
urging the President TO stop in st Indian-
apolis on his way through that state.
A telegram W65 also received
from Providence, asking the President
to visit that city on his
rumored trip 10 Mariop, Mass, where
Mrs. Cleveland is visiting. This was the
only one Of the invitations answered to-
day. Colonel Lsmont sent short reply
10 the effect the President had no inten-
ton of visiting Massachusetts ust ct
present. TIE President is seriously cou-
sideriug the best use he can make CT the
limited time be has allotted himself for
his western and southern trip, and he
will tske route which VIII enable him
10 visit briehQ the p,iLc;p2I cities Of two
sections Of country. He has
about made up ais mind that
he Will not go further west than Kansas
City and very little, if any further south
th-n Atlanta. He does not desire to be
absent from the capital more than twenty
days, but delayed and unavoidable cir
cumstances may pTOl01g his presence five
Or ter dsyS more. He Will begin the pre-
peTatiOn Of his anlual message to Con-
gress upon his return to Washington, and
that and other important matters which
Will claim his personal attention will
prevent him extending his visit much BE-
Yond November l. II is expected
that the programme for his trip will be
prepared within the next two weeks.
None of the invitations not already acted
On will be answered until that is arranged.
